Flaming Bride

I know I talk a lot about less is more when it comes to makeup and when it comes to my own face, that is totally my mantra but to make it work for me I have a pretty serious skincare routine. • If you’ve been thinking of making changes to your skincare routine would like to know what I use, let me know in the comments and I’ll hop on stories later 😘 • The beautiful face of @2maya7pan3 • #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Naturalbridalmakeup #Londonmakeup #Weddinghairstylists #Minimalistmakeup #makeupmadeeasy #judgementfree #weddinghairinspo #weddingmakeupideas #nofiltermakep #orangeblush #ipreview via @preview.app

My lovely friends @photosbyjessrose_ & @larr95 got married and not only did I get to hang out with them and get them ready - I got to be there for their wedding 🖤 • Such a beautiful shot of two very beautiful people 🖤 • Let’s not forget a shoutout to the amazing @lincolnpictures who took this epic shot 🙌🙌🙌 legend ♥️ • #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #ipreview via @preview.app

My name. Alev. The cause of a lot of life long confusion and one person who was convinced my name was Alex but I’d spelt my own name incorrectly in the many emails I’d sent her (true story) • Here’s some interesting *facts* about my name: ▪️It means flame in Turkish (I’m half Turkish) but there other translations such as fire, blaze and (fml) spunk. ▪️I’m always worried people won’t talk to me because they don’t know how to pronounce it 🙊 ▪️I went through a phase when I only would answer to Flame and have even looked up changing this weird arse name on deed poll (sorry mum) • Please tell me I’m not the only person with a name they feel slightly uneasy about? Hah! Love you all ❤️ • #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #ipreview via @preview.app

❤️‍🔥 The Flaming Bride Look ❤️‍🔥 The perfect example of one of my favourite looks. I call it “eyebrows, lashes and lips” Maybe the name needs work? • Would you wear this look? • It suits every single skin tone, all you have to do is adjust the shades ッ • #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #ipreview via @preview.app

Hey I’m ⌁Alev⌁ (pronounced the same as Alex but with a V, there’s a whole post coming about my name soon) • I built Flaming Bride as a space for everyone getting married who wants hair and makeup that reflects their personal style.

And if you think you aren’t beautiful then you need to hit me up because I guarantee that you are ☻ • I’m open and honest and my relationships with my clients can be as deep or as fleeting as you’re comfortable with ✌︎ • @lottietoppingphoto @thevibe.education @lucernestudio @livingproofuk • #Bridetobe2021 #modernbridalhair #modernbridalmakeup #empowerwomen #womensupportingwomen #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #ipreview via @preview.app

Let’s talk about hair… • It doesn’t have to be curly, it doesn’t have to big and it doesn’t need 12 billion hair grips 👀 • The only thing your hair needs to be is perfect for you 💘 • #Naturalbridalmakeup #Londonmakeup #Weddinghairstylists #Minimalistmakeup #makeupmadeeasy #judgementfree #weddinghairinspo #weddingmakeupideas #nofiltermakep #curlygirluk #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon

Can I be your coffee pot/ideal wedding hair & makeup artist?

This is the perfect look for someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup day to day but wants to feel a bit more “done” 👀 The eyeliner helps bring definition to the eye without adding too much makeup and the lips and cheeks are inspired by the natural tone of the lips 👄 Save this one for future reference ↗️ #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #eastlondonbride #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #Womensupportingotherwomen #Queerstyle #Londonstyles #diversityisbeautiful #Womeninbusinessclub #Creativewomencommunity #Recyclefashion #Empathlife #Feministartists #Minimalistlife #ipreview via @preview.app

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ wedding look 1 ᵔᴥᵔ Matching cheeks and lip combo. Key words to ask for “bold lip” “glowing skin” “blusher” This look can be adapted for every skin tone and looks great with lots of lip colours. Great if you already love a good lippie! Also looks great as more editorial look with no mascara and slicked back hair. Hit the link in the bio to secure your 2022 date now. I still have spaces for this winter too! #Eastlondonwedding #Londonbridetobe #Hertfordshirewedding #Londonbusinesswomen #shoplondon #coolbrides #modernbridal #beyourselfbeamazing #womensupportingotherwomen #chicbride #ecobride #millennialmarriage #nontraditionalwedding #bodypositivepower #makeuphelp #ipreview via @preview.app

♥‿♥ Today is National Wedding Suppliers Appreciation Day (>‿♥) Ok so it isn’t a “real” day but it absolutely should be. Wedding season this year has been different - to say the least. Social lives have been put on hold and our families are starting to no longer recognise our faces. We’ve taken on extra/last minute work and we’ve tried our hardest not to get *whispers* pinged 😬 Our love and passion for your weddings is totally boundless. We’re a bloody lovely bunch so don’t forget, your positive reviews, likes, shares and just general fluffing of us is much appreciated. So tell a friend!

♥‿♥ A little shoot I did with the @thevibe.education ♥‿♥ This makeup look is me on a plate - the look I LOVE to bring to my wedding work. Think of your makeup artist's portfolio as a menu. We all are specialists in different things - you don’t go to KFC for a big Mac - the same kind of applies here. Take the time to get to know your artists style. They’ll all be delicious but is it the flavour you’re looking for? I’m clearly hungry today?
